Cabin Beds

Cabin beds feature an elevated bed with an incorporated ladder. This is similar to bunk beds. However, instead of a second bed underneath, they are a form of kids’ storage beds with wardrobes, drawers, a desk, or a combination. This is ideal if your child’s room is always in a mess with toys all over the floor.

Do you have a budget in mind?

What are the main types of cabin bed?

Cabin beds differ by what is included beneath the raised sleeping space. This area could be used for storage or as a study and play area. The three main types are midsleepers, desk beds and high sleepers.

Midsleepers, such as the tinsley are a little shorter than the average bunk bed. They offer storage solutions which often include shelves, storage cubes, drawers or cupboards. These are ideal if your main goal is maximising space and keeping their room tidy.

Desk beds, such as the fincham often incorporate additional storage solutions, while including a pull-out desk. As a bunk bed with a desk, these provide a handy space for your child to do homework or just get creative.

As the name suggests, high beds such as the carter are the tallest option. This means they can accommodate more space. For example, some come with a desk underneath, such as the Carter. Plenty come with wardrobe space too making them a great kids storage bed.

What are the benefits of each style cabin bed?

With cabin beds, the storage options allow an abundance of floor space. This means they have more room to play. So, while they all have advantages, it’s worth catering your choice to a specific purpose.

Desk Beds

One of the main advantages of a desk bed is that it can promote study in young children. They allow creativity to run wild and gives children their own space to complete homework, ensuring they are tired come bedtime. If your child is creative and love crafts, consider a desk bed with plenty of drawer space for pens, paper and other art materials. If they like to read, consider a futon and bookshelf.

Perhaps they love video games in which case a desk bed with a futon will work great. A benefit is they won’t be able to see their TV from their bed, making them less likely to try play past bedtime! Although, this is true of all cabin styled beds whether that be mid, high or desk.

Why are they popular as a kids storage bed?

These beds easily double up as a kids storage bed. They help to keep rooms tidy, as bits and bobs can be easily stored in the cupboards underneath. What’s more, you can store clothes and other items in wardrobes that are part of the design. High beds are usually the best kids storage beds, as they need to accommodate enough space for a decent-sized wardrobe.

What size cabin bed should I get?

A midsleeper will be roughly 100-140cm tall. Regarding width, they are built to fit single mattresses, which are 3’0 wide.

For those who have small rooms, you will be best suited to a kids storage bed with a wardrobe and desk. This will ensure any floor space is maximised, leaving your child with plenty of room to play.

Rooms that are average sized or large clearly have the most choice as they can pick what suits without thinking about space. In these instances, it’s best to think what will enhance your child’s experience of their bedroom most.

What style cabin bed should I get?

They result in additional space and create a cleaner look.
